jan 1, 1985 - First CGI character

Description:

The first CGI character was featured in Young Sherlock Holmes which is produced by Steven Spielberg. The scene only lasts 31 seconds however it is still extremely groundbreaking for the time and still somewhat holds up today. The scene shows how technology can be used to make a film more interesting and paved the way for other film makers to use CGI in their films.

The first CGI characters is very important because despite looking a bit off in todays standards, without the first one we wouldn't have the great CGI that can be seen today in modern television and film.
